Just heard that the current administration is proposing to charge a $200 fee starting in 2013 to enroll in TriCare For Life. Along with the increase in Medicare Part B premiums (you must have Part B to get Tricare For Life) proposed by the administration, the "free" medical care for life I was promised when I joined up in 1969 is getting a little pricey. This is just another example of the out of touch folks in Washington who don't understand what a military career is all about. They get up, go to work, go home, sleep in their own bed, and never put themselves at any risk. Because they do this for years, they start to belive that the people in the military have it too good and must sacrifice a little more.
Let's ask all the people who have never done anything in their lives and then get free medical care from other government programs to start coughing up a few bucks to help out with the costs.
